I know this seems to be an issue but I can not seem to figure it out, I've spent hours looking at the same line of code and getting nothing, please help.

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: [2002] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not (trying to connect via tcp://localhost:3306) in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\db_ch03-1.php on line 3

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\db_ch03-1.php on line 3

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\db_ch03-1.php on line 3

and this is the code

<?php
//connect to MySQL
$db = mysql_connect( 'localhost', 'bp6am', 'bp6ampass') or
	die ('Unable to connect. Check your connection parameters.');

//create the main database if it doesn't already exist
$query = 'CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS moviesite';
mysql_query($query, $db) or die(mysql_error($db));

//make sure our recently created database is the active one
mysql_select_db('moviesite', $db) or die(mysql_error($db));

Well it can't connect to your database. Do you have MySQL running?

[Aciidsneaker]

I do have the service running, I also created the user using MySQL Administrator as well as tried

$db = mysql_connect( 'localhost:3306', 'bp6am', 'bp6ampass') or
	die ('Unable to connect. Check your connection parameters.');

It's not your PHP, although on the die it should echo the mysql_error(), (not getting called anyway) it's the SQL, make sure your firewall for some reason isn't blocking local connections, and blah blah blah make sure the SQL is actually -snipping- (Duhrr don't mind me not reading responses). (Check with PHPMyAdmin?)

Your mysql is down.

It is pretty simple, it can't connect to the database. Could be things like firewall or such.

Try using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost.
